I want to express my condolences to my best friend Kalani and her entire family. It was such an honor to have met Greg. He was truly a hero and a sweet man. I will cherish my pictures of Kalani and Greg at her Navy graduation. He was so very proud of his little girl. I know he will be missed by many.

A big welcome home from dad
